y Harry Hershfield wa.s speaking tho other night at tlie Ort dinner. The din¬ ner wa.s in honor of Lord Marley, who has associated himself, as yon know, with the Ort project. And Hershfield, commenting on the war meclals that be- glittercd his lordship's coat, remarked that he. too, wa.^; a veteran—of three cx- , cmptions.
And then Hershfield went on to sur¬ vey the condition ofthe country and ad¬ dressing his lordship remarked jocularly that if our forefathers in 177fi could have foreseen present day conditions, they might not have given his lordship's people such a good figbt.
Well, that's the way, Ed, I feel just now—or rather until just now-^for a hot bath and a cold plnnge wbich I have just trkcn IiJis improved niy attitude ."somewhat. T read soinewbere that the Bessemer process of steel making was Founded on the principle of alternately heating aud frccjting the raw inctal. So I thought, maybe the same process wouki alTcct me, in the same way. So I went from, a hot bath to a cold pool and then reversed. tlie process. It didn't make me into steel. Ed, but it helped to kcei. me from joiiiing the! Communist partj'.
We humans,arc fiinny beings, Ed. I sometimes think wc ave the most illogi¬ cal of all the animal kingdom. For in-'' stance, I met .an artist last night^x Jew- i.sh artist—aud lie was raving again.st the Jews—a."; so many Jews frequently uo. ¦ But the funny part is that he has only recently returnal from Palestine and Jikcs it there.
There is a.saying in the T;ilii;inl, I
believe, that the. very air of Palestine
, makes one smart.. It missed out, Ed,
on him, T think, but one thing that he
told ine about the Palestine atmosphere
interested nie. He said that the atr
mospbcre of Palestine is .so clear that
one can sec there with the naked eye-
. o'XT much greater distances than here.
The artist in doing work there must ad-
,'just himself to the changed perspective
that results.
' Palestine,, it scorns, is as full qf'artists as New York is of P'>ticcmcn according to him. In an exhibition held in the comparatively small city-of Tel-Aviv, he told me, there were exhibitions bv. over one hundred artists. In New York, I understand, there arc 57,000 policemen, or one for aboiit every hundred of the population. Tn. Palestine, there, is. about, ¦ the iiiime ratio of artists.
Donald Friede—of Covici Fj-icde, the well-known piiblishiiig firm, has just re¬ turned from Majorca, the Spanish pos¬ session which of late has become a ren¬ dezvous for artists, and he declares that thes^ expatriated American inteHigentsia spend their time in drinking parties, where the main objective besides drink¬ ing is trying to imitate the peacock screech. The difTerence between that and Palestine I account for by the fact that in Palestine they are T,veldcd hy a pur¬ pose—by a mission, if you please. A.nd cynical as one may be about missibns, there is something to, be said for any¬ thing that integrated life with a pur- :pose. , ¦
Rut what I would like you to tell tne, .Ed. thinking as I still am, of tbi-s artist just returned from Palestine, why are painters so self-conscious about their art?' Why do they, want you to stand in rapt admiration at their -works? Writers art not like that. Why should painters bc^

When you visit the home of a writer, be doesn't, unless he's a completely lost darn fool, ask you to read the clippings of his writings. Why does a painter feel chagrined, if you fail to note,any of the masterpieces bedecking his walls? Why doos a painter make such a distinction between commercia.! work aud pure art and resent the thought that he should paint anything but the dictates of his .soul? Most writers, on the contrary, even if perchance they do a piece pf work from higher motives, are a little embarrassed by the aduiission-^and ask writers and almost universally they will tell you that'they did it because they needed the money. Well, that's enougli about artists. There was an interesting article, Ed, tbe other day in the Saturday Evening Post by Carolyn Wells, the humorist. She tells of the doctors having given her two years to Hve. What should she do with the two years?
The question was also raisc<l as you re-^ member in Vicki Banm's "Grand Hotel." Miss Brody at the New York Public Library, Jewisii division, put a similar question the other day to a very schol¬ arly Jewish young man—a Ph.D. and an able youn'4 feliow all around, but one who has somehow had a very difficult tinie adjusting himself to economic con¬ ditions.
"What would you do^ Doctor." she a.sked him, "if you knew .you only had half an hour to live?"
He replied that he would summon to¬ gether all those who had refused him jobs and tell them to go you know wliere. I suggested, Ed, that he would have to hire Madison Square Garden for the occasion.
That reminds me that the late Joseph Pulitzer of tho World is said to have' built the Pulitzer building on the site of a torn down building, from which he was once ejected.
That idea of revenge always appealed to me. and I used sometimes to indulge in (he thought that I would like to dp as Pulltiter, but after a longer stay, I de¬ cided I would have to erect too many buildings. '

After an unprecedented triunipb in Dayton last week, the "Lind Quartet", aflsi5te<l by two additional male singers, have invaded Colunibus, and tonight, to¬ morrow morning and Sunday evening, February 12th, they will demonstrate at the Beth Jacob Synagogue how well they deserve the praises heajied Upon them fo'* their exceptional singing.
Cantor Lind himself, a cantor of the first rank, has succeeded by hard train¬ ing and constant practice in making his three boys, who together with him contv prise the "Lind Quartet" for world fa¬ mous cantors, although the oldest is only twenty and the youngest fourteen yeans of age. Each hoy sings wilh an artistic finish and mature understanding which actually . astonishes the hearer, and arouses one's wonderment how it is pos¬ sible that an entire family should^ be so highly talented.
While in Dayton the "Lind Quartet" thrilled thousands of disabled veterans
the Dayton Government Hospital with their glorious singing.
Iir consideration of the times the ad¬ mission charge has been made very low, and inasmuch as part bf the proceeds is for the benefit of the Hachnosis Orchim Society of Columbus, it is no more than right to expect that every .Jewish per- on who loves Jewish singing will be present, and with his presence help pro¬ vide food and shelter for those whi5 need it.
The "Liiid" Quartet" is under the man- igcmeiit of J. Hyman of the Chicago Concert Bureau.

P.efbre Adolf Hitler succeedol in se¬ curing the chancennrshi)> of Germany, he made a lot of rash promises, many of which he will not keep. I don't believe ibat he will do the terrible things to the Jews of Germany which he prophesied he would do. Today he holds a very responsible position and it will be im¬ perative for liim to be calm, prudent and so!)cr iu all his judgments and acts. In order to combat the communists who hate iiim so whole-heartedly, he will need the '^'ood will of the great Jewish, bankers and industrialists as well ivs that of ihc rank and file of the Jcwisli pco|)lc of Ger¬ many, it is my sincere belief that Hit¬ ler will bc nuich more kindly rlisposed towards bis Jcwisli fcllovv-citi?;cns than be has hccn in tbe past. He now must play the part of a statesman and diplomat ahd forget all the tricks of deniogogery Contrary to po|iular opinion, he has aiiionf^ liis advisors some of the best brains iu (.iernian\'. Tlicse men, I be¬ lieve,' will guide him ou the straight and narrow .path which lends to success. If he pursues any otlicr course, he not only will forfeit his position but will be rele¬ gated to the limbo of forgotten and (Itspised leaders.

Well, that's the way, Ed, I feel just now—or rather until just now-^for a hot bath and a cold plnnge wbich I have just trkcn IiJis improved niy attitude ."somewhat. T read soinewbere that the Bessemer process of steel making was Founded on the principle of alternately heating aud frccjting the raw inctal. So I thought, maybe the same process wouki alTcct me, in the same way. So I went from, a hot bath to a cold pool and then reversed. tlie process. It didn't make me into steel. Ed, but it helped to kcei. me from joiiiing the! Communist partj'.
We humans,arc fiinny beings, Ed. I sometimes think wc ave the most illogi¬ cal of all the animal kingdom. For in-'' stance, I met .an artist last night^x Jew- i.sh artist—aud lie was raving again.st the Jews—a."; so many Jews frequently uo. ¦ But the funny part is that he has only recently returnal from Palestine and Jikcs it there.
There is a.saying in the T;ilii;inl, I
believe, that the. very air of Palestine
, makes one smart.. It missed out, Ed,
on him, T think, but one thing that he
told ine about the Palestine atmosphere
interested nie. He said that the atr
mospbcre of Palestine is .so clear that
one can sec there with the naked eye-
. o'XT much greater distances than here.
The artist in doing work there must ad-
,'just himself to the changed perspective
that results.
' Palestine,, it scorns, is as full qf'artists as New York is of P'>ticcmcn according to him. In an exhibition held in the comparatively small city-of Tel-Aviv, he told me, there were exhibitions bv. over one hundred artists. In New York, I understand, there arc 57,000 policemen, or one for aboiit every hundred of the population. Tn. Palestine, there, is. about, ¦ the iiiime ratio of artists.
Donald Friede—of Covici Fj-icde, the well-known piiblishiiig firm, has just re¬ turned from Majorca, the Spanish pos¬ session which of late has become a ren¬ dezvous for artists, and he declares that thes^ expatriated American inteHigentsia spend their time in drinking parties, where the main objective besides drink¬ ing is trying to imitate the peacock screech. The difTerence between that and Palestine I account for by the fact that in Palestine they are T,veldcd hy a pur¬ pose—by a mission, if you please. A.nd cynical as one may be about missibns, there is something to, be said for any¬ thing that integrated life with a pur- :pose. , ¦
Rut what I would like you to tell tne, .Ed. thinking as I still am, of tbi-s artist just returned from Palestine, why are painters so self-conscious about their art?' Why do they, want you to stand in rapt admiration at their -works? Writers art not like that. Why should painters bc^

Congregation On Sunday,
February 12th
When you visit the home of a writer, be doesn't, unless he's a completely lost darn fool, ask you to read the clippings of his writings. Why does a painter feel chagrined, if you fail to note,any of the masterpieces bedecking his walls? Why doos a painter make such a distinction between commercia.! work aud pure art and resent the thought that he should paint anything but the dictates of his .soul? Most writers, on the contrary, even if perchance they do a piece pf work from higher motives, are a little embarrassed by the aduiission-^and ask writers and almost universally they will tell you that'they did it because they needed the money. Well, that's enougli about artists. There was an interesting article, Ed, tbe other day in the Saturday Evening Post by Carolyn Wells, the humorist. She tells of the doctors having given her two years to Hve. What should she do with the two years?

P.efbre Adolf Hitler succeedol in se¬ curing the chancennrshi)> of Germany, he made a lot of rash promises, many of which he will not keep. I don't believe ibat he will do the terrible things to the Jews of Germany which he prophesied he would do. Today he holds a very responsible position and it will be im¬ perative for liim to be calm, prudent and so!)cr iu all his judgments and acts. In order to combat the communists who hate iiim so whole-heartedly, he will need the '^'ood will of the great Jewish, bankers and industrialists as well ivs that of ihc rank and file of the Jcwisli pco|)lc of Ger¬ many, it is my sincere belief that Hit¬ ler will bc nuich more kindly rlisposed towards bis Jcwisli fcllovv-citi?;cns than be has hccn in tbe past. He now must play the part of a statesman and diplomat ahd forget all the tricks of deniogogery Contrary to po|iular opinion, he has aiiionf^ liis advisors some of the best brains iu (.iernian\'. Tlicse men, I be¬ lieve,' will guide him ou the straight and narrow .path which lends to success. If he pursues any otlicr course, he not only will forfeit his position but will be rele¬ gated to the limbo of forgotten and (Itspised leaders.
